Salt q Cure for Falling Hair.

AZ am very glad of the opportunity given
me by the query to thank Notes and Queries
for the recommendation Of dry salt as Q ours
for falling hair. My hair had come out fright
fully for several mouths, so that dreaded
touching it with brush. Thinking that salt
could DO no harm, anyway, and remembering
the benefit always derived from sea air and
bathing, 1 tried it, and was surprised at the
result, for after three applications-putting
it nn at night and brushing and shaking out
in the morning-not ono hair came out with
the most vigorous brushing. Ihave used 10
three or four times a week since the middle
OF November, and notice a perceptible thick
ening of my hair and no disagreeable results
whatever The treatment might not be %
beneficial to every one, OF course, but have
written this fully. feeling that could hardly
say too much in praise Of what has been 90
successful with myself. boston Transcripts

CHAPTER AXXv.
THE coxcLUs1oS or THE NATTER


When tho rain ceased AMI tho moon began
10 shine, Jess was still fleeing like wild
thing across tho plain on the top Of tho moum-
tain. She felt no sense OF exhaustion noS or
even Of weariness; her only idea was to get
away, right away somewhere, wheft she
could lose herself and nobody would ever see
her again Presently she came to the top of
Leuw Kloof, and in bewildered way recog
nized the spot and commenced to descend it.
Here was place where she might lie until
abe died. for no one ever came there, except
now and again so >e wandering Kaffir herd.
On she sprang. from rock to rock, q wild,
weird figure, ", 4 in keeping with the solemn
and titanic sadness Of the place.
Twice she fell. once right into the stream,
but she took no heed, she did not
even seem to feel 1t. At last she was
ct the bottom. now creeping like q black
dot across the wide spaces Of moonlight and
now swallowed up In the shadow There
before her was the mouth Of her little cave;
her strength was leaving her at last, and she
was fain to creep into 1t, broken hearted,
crazed, and-dying.
4Oh, God, forgive mel God forgive mev'
she moaned, a. she sank upon the rocky
noor. @Bessie, sinned against you, but

Bessie, love, not for myself I had rather

marry John now, and youwin never ne> er
know what did for you / am going to die.
I know that. am dying. Oh, if I only
could see his face once more before / die-be-
fore diel"
Slowly the westering moonlight crept down
the blackness of the rock. Now at last it
peeped into the little cave and played upon
Johns sleeping face lying within two feet OF
her Her prayer had been granted; there
was her lover by her side.
With a start and great sigh of doubt she
saw him. Was he deada She dragged her
self to him on her hands and knees and list

She was outside the tent again, the red
knife in her hand. She flung the accursed
thing from her. That shrek must have
awakened every soul within a mile. Already
she could family hear the stir Of men down
by the wagon and the patter of Jantje run
ming for his life.
Then she too turned and fed straight up the
hill. She knew not whittier. she cared not
where. None saw her or followed her, the hunt
had broken away to the left after Jantje. Her
heart was lead and her head a rocking sea Of
fire, while before her, around her, and behind
her yelled all the conscience created furies
that run murder to his lair.

one sound only in her ears On over the hill,

of Civil-Scrvice reform in 1874. With
in three weeks after his Inauguration
he turned his back upon his own pro-
fcssions in favor of reform by an os-
tcntatious action based solely and al
most avowcdly upon the spoils system.
A collector in the New York custom
house was removed midway in his
term, not for the good of the service,
since it was acknowledged that he had
been an efficient and faithful official,
but for the purpose Of making room
for a politician whose personal demand
upon the Presidents chief adviser must
be paid off at the public expense. This
backward step was not retraced, and
on the morning of July 2, 1881, the
outlook for reform was most discOur.
aging. ,..
Perhaps nothing short of Guitcau's s
shot could have impressed the people
with "the dangers of mad chase
after partisan spoils." Certainly the
assassination of Garfield marked the
turning-point in the struggle with the
spoils system. In the next election OF
Congressman, in the fall of 1882, the
popular demand for change was made
SO plain that the expiring Con-
gress, promptly upon meeting
in December, 1882, took up and
passed the Pendlcton bill, which
its author had for two years vainly
pushed upon the attention of his col
leagues. In Jnly, 1883, the COMPETE
tive system was put into operation. In
1884 the growing demand for thor
ough-going reform of the civil service
aided in the election of Democrat
over Republican candidate who had
shown his attitude towards the ques-
ton when he committed it to the ten
der mercies of General Butler ten
years before. The Civil-Service system
became month by month more firmly
entrenched. and in May, 1887, an en-
tension only second in Importance to
its original establishment is made
through the approval by the President
of rules which applyA the competitive
principle to promotions as well us to
entrance. Most important of all, this
latest and most significant action OF
the Presinent is criticised only by q
few Republican spoils organs, while
the progressive Democratic newspa-
pers throughout the country accept it
rs one of the arguments which the par
ty can present for asking another lease
of power in 1883.
1t is not yet six years since Garfield's
assassination, but it is already evident
that the lesson of that event has been
mastered by the American people. The
spoils system reached its full fruition
in his murder by disappointed office
seeker. and the people have taken "a
solemn resolve to purge forever from
our political methods and from the
operations of our Government the per-
versions and misconceptions which
gave birth to passionate and blood

nritisf, Columbia Indians Who Indulge In
Human Flesh.
Prof j. Jacobsen, who has been in
the province for some years collecting
Indian curios for the Hamburg Museum
and writing up the habits, customs and
traditions of the aborigines. arrived
down on the Boscowitz from Bella Coola.
The Professor spent all last winter at
Tucalo, the head of the southernmost
of the Bentinck arms, which is distant
from Bella Coola about eighty miles,
Here he found the Indian in his primi-
tive state, a wild, untutored savage,
with but scant knowledge of the arts
or customs Of civilization. The inlet,
running far inland. and being every
way out of the course of traders or
prospectors, is never visited, and the
Indians say no white men ever went up
to the head of it before. They live
there as they do in most places around
the coast, by hunting and fishing, deer
and fur-bearing animals abounding in
large numbers. They are without
missionaries and cannibalism is ram
pant. The Professor tells of some
sickening sights which he witnessed
there during the past winter, which at
this day one could scarcely be-
lieve capable of being witnessed so
near home, did the information not
come from reliable person. The GUS
tom is still carried out there of men

for several weeks, though he came near
the camp occasionally and made night
hideous with his yells. When he came
to the tribe he came naked, notwith-
standing that it was the middle of
winter, with two OF three feet of snow
on the ground. The first man he met
he seized, knocked down. and bit a
piece out of his arm. which he chewed
ravenously. This was repeated many
times over, his face becoming besmeared
with blood and presenting fiendish
appearance. The victims of the would.

u break for the Professor, who soon
gave him to understand that he was
going to experience something pretty
tough If he tackled him. He was not
further mOlested.
It is the intention of Prof. Jacobsen
to reside in the province permanently.
and he will 60 north again. He brought
down with him many valuable curios,
which will be forwarded to Germany.

HONEST AND PATRIOTIC.
The Oid-Eashioned Democrat Man o
Whom tho Country Can lie Proud.


Whom tho Country Can Be Proud.
When man is appointed to Office,
or receives any special honors at the
hands of the President or people, IL is
the custom of the time to speak of his
political standing, his record as to
party and principles, and frequently
the phrase "an old-fashioned Demo-
crat' is applied to him by men not of
his own party. There is something
the mans staying and sterling quail
ties Hon. Edward +. Brigham. the
rccently-appointcd Chief Justice of the
District of Columbia, is thus men,
toned; ex-senator Thurman also, and
others, whom the people know and re-
spect.
'An old-fashioncd Democrat" is sure
to be an upright citizen. He believes
in something and sticks to 1t; he stud
les men, analyses measures. weighs
opinions and puts every question to
the test. If he is in business he meets
his obligations like man. deals on
the square, says ''no" when he means
mo- and is just rs ready to help an
opponent in distress as one of his own
party associates. With him right is
right, and fair play is fair play; to do a
mean or dishonorablc action is foreign
to his nature; as rule. he loves well
and hates well, and the man who be-
trays his party, or is guilty of deccp-
tion or fraud, is in his eyes criminal.
The old-fashioned Democrat is more
progressive than the conservative Re-
publican; he may oppose cuttingdown
a tree. because it symbolizcs his own
life in some respects, but let him be-
come convinced that the tree cndan-
gers human life, or stands in the way
of a needed Improvement for the gem
eral good, and he will, if it need be,
fell it with his own hands. He is OPP
posed to quarreling on principle but
fights when justice demands it, with a
persistency unknown to his meeker
brethren.
Ii you are fortunate enough to know
him intimately you will find him in So
cial life the soul of honor, the truest of
friends and the most devoted husband
and father, His absolute truthfulness
and downright earnestness in some
times mistaken for obstinacy, but how
ever brusque he may be. he is man
to trust in an emergency, friend to
rely upon in trouble, II citizen to be re-
vered and a patriot ut heart. whether
he stands in the legislative halls Of the
nation, wears the judicial ermine. or
mends shoes in some quiet alley.
Wherever you find him you will find
man of solid worth. whose opinion
on any subject is valuable. and whose
daily life is constant reproach to the
rascals who live by fraud. Take him
for all in all, the old-fashioned Demo-
crat is II man to be proud of, and our
old city of Boston is most fortunate in
having many such within her borders.

And ut once, so nearly starved was he.
He gobbled II oil down.
Nibbled up every crum;
And then he suddenly thought
